Broken Arrow Book Barn

Broken Arrow Book Barn occupies a lovingly converted 1930s dairy barn in the Rose District, Broken Arrow's walkable downtown entertainment area, and the building's agricultural bones are on proud display. Reclaimed barn-wood shelves hold a selection that celebrates Oklahoma's farming and ranching heritage alongside contemporary fiction and an exceptional children's section designed with a hay-bale reading fort that kids adore. The Western fiction section covers everything from classic Louis L'Amour to modern literary Westerns, and the Oklahoma agriculture collection includes practical farming guides, Dust Bowl histories, and memoirs of life on the Great Plains. The cafe serves farm-fresh pastries from a local bakery and locally roasted coffee, and the store partners with the Broken Arrow Farmers Market for seasonal events. Owner Mark Running Bear, a citizen of the Muscogee Creek Nation, ensures that the store's programming reflects the diverse heritage of northeastern Oklahoma, with regular events featuring Native American authors and storytellers.
